This is a review of a compilation from Finland's Mustan Kuun Lapset which consists of their 90s material which was done in more of a raw and melodic black metal style and the album is called "Ei Sävyjä Pimeässä - The Complete 90s Collection" and was released by Inverse Records.
Drum beats and heavy riffing starts off the compilation while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. All of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them along with the faster sections of t he songs also adding in a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats which also gives the music more of a raw feeling.
Vocals a r e mostly grim black metal screams that also get deep sounding at times while acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly. Throughout the compilation you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some songs also adding in a small amount of keyboards.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style along with some songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing as well as some of the later tracks also adding in elements of dark metal which also became more dominant on later releases from the band, spoken word parts can also be heard in certain sections of the compilation. The production sounds very dark and raw while the lyrics are written in a mixture of English and Finnish and cover Satanism, Occultism, Anti Christianity and Darkness themes.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Mustan Kuun Lapset and if you are a fan of raw, melodic and old school black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDEDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Taivas ja maa" "I Shall Wither" "Kuka palvoo Saatanaa" and "Lilith". 8 out of 10.
